Adhivasa-kirtana refers to songs generally sung a few days before the beginning of a Gaudiya festival. The songs are narrations of Sri Chaitanya and his companions engaged in various festivities. The course of the adhivasa, with the giving of sandalwood pulp and flower garlands, follows the course of the song narrative. This entry has footage from three adhivasa-kirtans:

1. In preparation for Jiva Goswami's festival at Radha-Damodara temple.
2. At Sitanath temple and at Vyasa Ghera at Radha-kunda.
